Flowing Destiny

Famous quotes containing the words flowing and/or destiny:

    He never felt twice the same about the flecked river,
    Which kept flowing and never the same way twice, flowing
    Through many places, as if it stood still in one....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
    Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
